i saw an interview with andy rouse where he was saying the 300bhp fwd mk1 mondeo touring car was doing faster lap times than the 500bhp rwd RS500 BTCC cars from the 80's, due to advances in suspension technology.
the whole rwd/4x4 purist thing is getting really boring now.
lets face it ford are never gonna make any more 4x4 or rwd sporty motors so why all act so shocked every time a new model comes out lol
turbo charged front wheel drive is crap, the fact that you can get a fast lap time out of a fwd racing car is not really any use to mr and mrs average road user ,when she is trying to nip out of the junction on the school run with 280 bhp fwd a wet sliipy road and high heels on
when her range rover is in for a service
